"For this first album, we are definitely going to let the fans know first about all of the details coming out," he says. "We want them to know just what's happening with the album and when it's coming out because they're the ones who are going to buy the music and they're the ones who have been following me through this Idol journey.

"I'm really excited to let people hear what we've been working on and putting so much effort and energy and time into. It's something that I'm really proud of. I can't wait for them to hear it! Hopefully they'll feel what I was feeling in the studio."
